INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1334-1337 (Final)]


Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber From Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and 
Poland

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber from Brazil, 
Korea, Mexico, and Poland, provided for in subheading 4002.19.00 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').^{2 3}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ Vice Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioner Meredith M. 
Broadbent dissenting.
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on Korea.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective July 21, 2016, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by Lion Elastomers, LLC, Port Neches, Texas, and East West Copolymer, 
LLC, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Commission scheduled the final phase 
of the investigations following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce that imports of emulsion styrene-butadiene 
rubber from Brazil, Korea, Mexico, and Poland were being sold at LTFV 
within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 
Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's 
investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection 
therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of 
the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and 
by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of March 13, 2017 (82 
FR 13503). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, on June 29, 2017, 
and all persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear 
in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on August 25, 2017. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4717 (August 2017), 
entitled Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Brazil, Korea, Mexico, 
and Poland: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1334-1337 (Final).
